    <Message type="tip">
      Depending on the model of your dedicated server, iLO may propose either an **HTML5-based** KVM-over-IP interface or a **Java-based** one. Make sure to have [Java installed](https://www.java.com/en/download/help/download_options.html) on your local computer if you want to use this version.
